A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300 BC. The implement is a blade formed from a tertiary flake which is rectangular in plan with a triangular section. As its length is more than twice the width and the sides are more or less parallel, it is identifiable as a blade. No striking platform or bulb of percussion remain. Semi-abrupt, short, parallel retouch is present along one of the narrower edges. The left and right wider edges shows signs of very limited retouch. The flint is a mid-white colour. The implement is 31.45mm long, 13.61mm wide, 5…
